Description

This is one of eight rows of 125 buddhas each in The Garden of One Thousand Buddhas near Missoula, MT. A few folks have asked if we really counted them...yes, via a little addition and multiplication:-) Actually, there are a few bigger buddhas around the outside walls...making at least 1006/1007. Zoom worthy for details. The little plaques in front of each buddha are sponsor plaques listing families or individuals by name.

Astonishing! What a place to visit!

I love the calming effect of the repetition which might help me cope with the proximity of the mountains if I was there .

I like Andrea's comment, because I think I said something quite similar about the repetition. It's quite soothing. I like your pov, btw. Nicely done! :*

Seems like it would be challenging to find an effective POV to convey this unique location, but you've done a fine job here - I get a really visceral sense of the multitudes of buddhas against the backdrop of that beautiful hillside & I think I can imagine what it must be like to actually be there (maybe)...
